There is something fun and entertaining about eating out at
a restaurant that staying in just cannot provide. A good restaurant is often
noted due to its wine cellar, its gourmet food or its classy atmosphere, but
then there are some restaurants that challenge the idea of what it is to be a
restaurant. Here are some of the most unusual restaurants in the world.

The Twin Stars Diner, Moscow

As you walk through the door into this modern restaurant,
nothing really takes you by surprise. The menu looks delicious, the setting is
modern and tasteful, but then you may start to get that Matrix-style deja-vu
feeling that you have just seen the bartender in two places at once, around
then you start to realise that this restaurant is staffed entirely by multiple
sets of twins.

The concept of this restaurant was inspired by a Soviet film
from 1964 called Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors and takes after a similar venue in
New York called ‘Twinergy’ where twins who eat there get two for one deals.
According to their website ‘You see double before you have a cocktail'.

The Heart Attack Grill, Las Vegas

This restaurant in the United States doesn’t shy away from
unhealthy food, huge portion sizes, or even the health warnings that many people
are calling for with food which is high in fat. When you see the menu in this
restaurant, you’ll know how it got its name.

When you sit down to your table, you’re given a hospital
gown to protect your clothing from the colossal slab of meat you are about to
eat, and gives you an idea of what is about to come. One of the burgers on the
menu is called a quadruple bypass burger and contains calories in their tens of
thousands, 20 slices of bacon and offers two nurses to help you out of the
restaurant via wheelchair when you’re done!

Draculas, Melbourne

This rather camp take on the recent trend in horror movies
and classic hammer horror stories will entertain and thrill you if you are into
vampires, ghouls and witches. Anyone with a sense of adventure will enjoy the
Vampire themed restaurant that also features a cabaret styled show during your
meal.

Featuring a ghost train ride, a cocktail bar and the chance
to dine in full horror fancy dress, you can see why it has become so popular
over the last couple of years, something must be going right!

Calico Cat Café, Tokyo

This café is definitely one for the cat lovers out there, as
the restaurant is filled with cats all day long. Felines roam free while diners
enjoy their cups of tea and coffee, sometimes giving you the opportunity to
give them a pat or a scratch on the chin.If you have ever felt the need to dine whilst being scratched at the
ankles by a hungry kitty then this restaurant is perfect for you.

Many people like to go to the restaurant for the company of
dining with cats. The owner states that many find comfort in feline
companionship and like to dine alone anyway, so the benefits are apparently
mutual.

The Hilton Resort & Spa, Maldives

As many travellers may well know, the Hilton is world
renowned for its luxury penthouse suites, large spa facilities and Michelin
star restaurant experiences. But the Hilton has a very special secret up its
sleeve with the Maldives Resort & Spa.

It is an underwater restaurant that is situated 5 meters
below the surface and has some of the most pristine water with exotic sea life
to watch as you dine on your exquisite dessert. The restaurant only serves 14
people, so get that reservation in early!

Toilet Restaurant, Taiwan

This restaurant may top the list of the oddest restaurants!
It isn’t the menu that has people worried, it’s the seating arrangements. The
entire restaurant was designed to look like a bathroom. Instead of regular
seating you have to sit on toilet bowls at tables made from bathtubs with a
large mirror on them, tiled walls and even dinner plates that are shaped like
toilet seats.

As you can imagine, the idea has not been too popular with
many of the locals, but as people get more intrigued, the restaurant always
seems to be packed to the rafters. Somehow, we don’t think this restaurant will
be getting any Michelin stars any time soon.
